Countywide counts of maternal hospital stays with opioid use and countywide rates of maternal hospital stays with opioid use per 1,000 maternal stays.
Maternal stays include those involving a delivery, as well as other pregnancy-related stays. Opioid use, or opioid use disorder, is a diagnosis indicating opioid dependence, abuse, or use. Some opioid drugs may be prescribed as part of medication-assisted treatment to relieve withdrawal symptoms and psychological cravings often associated with opioid use disorders. Opioid use during pregnancy can lead to Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS) for newborns.
This analysis is restricted to maternal hospital stays for Pennsylvania-state residents who were hospitalized in Pennsylvania hospitals.

This mapping visual shows the location of the Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs (DDAP) drug and alcohol treatment facilities in Pennsylvania as of May 2018. By double clicking the circular points, zoom into one facility and find out details such as name, type of facility, address and phone number of the facility in the fly-out details when hovering over the circle.

This dataset reports the name, street address, city, county, zip code, telephone number, latitude, and longitude of Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs (DDAP) drug and alcohol treatment facilities in Pennsylvania as of May 2018.

The primary difference between the three types of treatment facilities is their funding. Centers of Excellence (COEs) were grant funded by the Department of Human Services, PacMATs were grant funded by the Department of Health, and all other facilities are funded by either billing insurance or billing the county in the case of uninsured clients.

Programmatically, COEs differ from the other types because they are designed to serve as “health homes” for individuals with Opioid Use Disorder (OUD). This means that the care coordination staff at the COE is charged with coordinating all kinds of health care (physical and behavioral health) as well as recovery support services. They do this by developing hub-and-spoke networks with other healthcare providers and other sources for recovery supports, such as housing, transportation, education and training, etc. All COEs are required to accept Medicaid.

PacMATs also operate in a hub-and-spoke model, but it is different from COEs. PacMATs endeavor to coordinate the provision of Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) by identifying a core hub of physicians in a health system that work with other providers in the health system (spokes) to train them about the safe and effective provision of MAT so that there are more providers in a health system that are able to confidently prescribe various forms of MAT. I do not know whether all PacMATs are required to accept Medicaid as a term of their receipt of the grant, but I do know that all currently designated PacMATs are health systems that do accept Medicaid. PacMAT services have been advertised as being available to all people regardless of insurance type, so I assume this means they are required to serve Medicaid clients, commercially insured clients, and uninsured clients. In the PacMAT program the Hub is supported right now by grant funding (in the future funding such as a per patient/per month capitated rate) and the spokes bill insurance (both Medicaid and Commercial)

DDAP facilities may also be designated as COEs and/or PacMATs. If they are, it means they applied for a specific grant fund and have committed to carrying out the activities of the grant described above. To be clear, DDAP does not run any treatment facilities; they license them. These can be MAT providers such as methadone clinics, providers of outpatient levels of care (i.e., more traditional drug and alcohol counseling services) or inpatient levels of care, such as residential rehabilitation programs. Every facility is different in terms of the menu of services it provides. Every facility also gets to decide what forms of payment they will accept. Many accept Medicaid, but not all do. Some only accept private commercial insurance. Some accept payment from the county on behalf of uninsured clients. And some charge their clients cash for services.

This dataset contains summary information on overdose responses and naloxone administrations by Pennsylvania criminal justice agencies and some third-party (i.e. EMS, Fire, Medical Staff, etc) first responders voluntarily entering incident data. Due to the voluntary nature of the application, the ODIN information provided may not represent the totality of all overdose and/or naloxone administration incidents involving criminal justice agencies occurring within the Commonwealth. Although this dataset does include some third-party administrations of naloxone, it should not be used to measure overdose response and naloxone administration incidents among all first responders.

This interactive map provides users with the ability to view the number of opioid related incidents, quarterly by county. Opioid related incidents refer to the number of seizures of a particular drug by the Pennsylvania State Police only. Use the drop-down menus to select the year and quarter(s) you would like to view. The drug drop-down menu will allow you to differentiate by opioid drug type. The opioid incidents reflected on this map may not include all active investigations by the Pennsylvania State Police.

This interactive map depicts the amount of Heroin, in kilograms, seized by the Pennsylvania State Police quarterly, by county. Use the drop-down menus to select quarter and year to see the amount of heroin seized by the Pennsylvania State Police in each county. Care should be taken regarding inferences made about the location in which heroin is seized as drugs can be transient and therefore seized in areas other than their origination or destination. The heroin seizures reflected on this map may not include all active investigations by the Pennsylvania State Police.

This interactive map depicts the amount of opioids, in kilograms, seized by the Pennsylvania State Police quarterly, by county. Use the drop-down menus to select quarter and year to see the amount of opioids seized by the Pennsylvania State Police in each county. The drug drop-down menu will allow you to view a separate map for each opioid drug type. Care should be taken regarding inferences made about the location in which opioids are seized as drugs can be transient and therefore seized in areas other than their origination or destination. The opioid seizures reflected on this map may not include all active investigations by the Pennsylvania State Police.
